FM 1 stated Resident A's medications were changed, Resident A's condition improved, and when the doctor at HOSP 1 called the facility to have Resident A re-admitted to the facility, the facility would not accept Resident A back. On June 28, 2019, at 10:16 a.m., Resident A's record was reviewed and indicated Resident A, a young adult, was admitted to the facility on July 19, 2013, with diagnoses that included traumatic brain injury and history of seizures. The record indicated Resident A required extensive 1-2 person assistance for his activities of daily living, was wheelchair bound, and had a BIMS score of 12 (Brief Interview Mental Status-standardized assessment used to determine cognitive ability with score of 0 lowest and 15 highest). The History and Physical, dated August 30, 2018, indicated Resident A did not have the capacity to make decisions.

The CM stated the goals when Resident A was sent to HOSP 1 were to get Resident A evaluated by the hospital's Psychiatrist and then get Resident A transferred to an acute rehabilitation facility. The CM stated Resident A needed a three day qualifying stay at the hospital in order to be transferred to another long-term care facility. The CM stated Resident A's behaviors at the facility were escalating. HOSP 1 had more options for Resident A, and was better able to find another facility for Resident A to go to. The CM stated he spoke to HOSP 1's Case Manager and HOSP 1 expected Resident A to stay in the hospital about 7-10 days to adjust his medications. The CM stated he reviewed the changes HOSP 1 made to Resident A's medications and did not talk to Resident A's facility Psychiatrist about his condition or medications when HOSP 1 wanted to discharge Resident A. The CM stated the facility's Administrator (ADMIN), Director of Nursing (DON), and department supervisors met and decided the facility would not readmit Resident A due to his past behaviors. On June 28, 2019, at 11:50 a.m., the DON was interviewed and stated the facility thought Resident A's medications were not working and his behaviors were escalating before Resident A was transferred to HOSP 1.

If a bed is not available in that location at the time of return, the resident must be given the option to return to that location upon the first availability of a bed there. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to readmit one of three sampled residents (Resident A) to the facility after hospitalization. This failure increased the potential for emotional distress to Resident A, and his family. Findings: On June 27, 2019, Resident A's family member (FM) 1 was interviewed by telephone. FM 1 stated Resident A had a brain injury seven years ago and had been a resident at the facility for the past six years.
